B7200 FEL to mini skidsteer quick attach modification

I'll also point out you have the side links geometry or length wrong, or possibly just a stop issue.
But the way you have it now your going to damage the cylinder rod and cylinder seals.

Your bowing the rods on extension, that should not happen.

Pivot lengths are right on the money. Doesnt appear to be any damage to cyl shaft thk goodness. Definitely needs stops welded on. Thx for catching that

Didnt waste any time and found this 48" bucket and screw on forks came with it for cheap (to me) on the market place. Over 200lb bucket. Will adapt my miniskid QA bracket to this now. Will be able to move the pivots back with this normal bucket

The problem w/ these buckets for me is that they use a good part of the lifting capacity of the tractor.

Thats why i think mini skid implements will work great. Not as heavy. You can get heavy duty american or the thinner light duty chinese stuff. Both should work.

Update on my miniskid bracket. Finally got back on it... Moved it back, moved brackets around to get better supports. Swapped plate sides. Tacked it up. Will try bucket tmrrw.
